Who killed Tom Fox? Why and what's the reason for?

Out here on the radical fringe of Christianity, there are those of us who believe that there are worse things than being killed standing up for what you believe in. We feel that it's better to honor our personal integrity, our relationship with the divine, than to play it safe.

Out here on the edge, there are those of us who believe that Jesus didn't suffer just one time all those years ago up on a lonely cross. We feel that Jesus dies in every generation, whenever good folks stand up for righteousness. This Jesus perished in the Holocaust and in the collapse of the Twin Towers. This Jesus expired when Tom Fox was tortured and shot. This Jesus dies over and over until human kind gets that we have to learn to live together in peace and justice.

That's why Tom Fox died. That's the reason for.
